The following provides basic information on the final datasets and describes the do files that produce Tables 1 - 7 and Appendix Tables B.1, C.2, D.1, E.1, E.2 for the paper "The impact of study groups and roommates on academic performance" by Tarun Jain and Mudit Kapoor. The data are in Stata 12.0 format.

INSTRUCTIONS
*********************************

The do files have been tested on a Windows 7 OS machine running Stata SE 12.0. 

Place Peers.do and Peers_Dataset.dta in the same subfolder and execute the .do file.

Note that the regressions to generate Table 5: Randomized allocation of study groups and quads may generate different results as reported in the paper since the program generates a different random draw of the data each time the program is run.
